It's your car, but in my "don't mess with it" oriented opinion, it's a waste of money to achieve a minimal difference, if any, in the real world...and not necessarily a positive difference. Maybe a good mod for bench racing, maybe even a good mod under certain track conditions, but again, in the real world of street driving that you do are you really going to feel a difference for the expense and destroying the marketability of your car unless you spend again and put it all back...I doubt it, but hey, that's just me. I hope whatever direction you choose brings you satisfaction and fun. That is what this hobby is all about.

 

I was being reasonable when I suggested an RS... they are avail for Phil.

Reference the care package... no sweat... I'll take a rain check. Cheers,

 

Seems like you could trim some weight in other areas and still retain the extra safety margin afforded by the AWD. Perhaps an excuse to get a set of sport seats ?

 

Bad memory disclaimer, but IIRC, there was a lawsuit way back when where somebody with a new 930 let a female colleague drive it at lunch. They managed to kill themselves doing 60 in a 25 and, of course, the estates sued Porsche for building a defective product and not warning them that a car that looks like a Porsche Turbo goes really fast really quickly, or something like that. [For crying out loud, it's not a Taurus, the whole car is a warning]. I think there were some internal Porsche documents about the "poisonous" handling characteristics of the 930 when that single turbo kicked in. After that, we got the TT with AWD. Maybe one of the lawyers in the crowd remembers this?

 

Thanks for all the comments. Decided not to go for it. My enthusiasm carried me away, but thinking things over, I will not do it.

Monique,
Yes, I know, but I have gotten to the stage, where looks are just as important as light weight and performance. IMHO, the widebody with no spoiler is more aesthecially pleasing, so I will stick with it.

 

Eh Brahdah Rich?! Howzit Brah?! PM When your job ever gets you up here and we can go get some grins. L&L is right down the street from me.

Mahalo,

I doubt there is much of a weight savings going to sport seats. The easiest way to drop weight, IMHO, would be to get rid of the mufflers and run bypasses, get a lightweight set of wheels and get GT3 seats. After that, it's all about ripping out stuff you think you don't need.
